Hi everyone, I was just sitting back and thinking that I have really been slack this last week or so and I wanted to apologize to all for this.
Now I don't really think that anyone actually missed me but hey in case one of the 99 + thousand members may have I thought I would let them know I was still alive and kicking. For those who did not know I had a heart attack on May 10th and have been recouping very well. Today I had a stress test done to see just how well I have been doing and to find out my limits. It went very well, the doctor had my heart rate up to 146 beats/min. and then proceeded to ask why I was even there! That is very promising. So what does this mean? It means I won't be able to use the excuse that the doc. said not to lift things more than 5 pounds anymore! It also means I can now continue to do the things I was doing before my heart attack. It means one more thing, It means I will be around to annoy y'all again for a long long time. LOL I hope you can handle it! :)

hi tammy,
i am really sorry to hear the news. i think, it's quite unlikely for a female of this age to have a MI! i am glad that you have recovered and back to your job 24x7. lol..
i would suggest you to take enough rest and donot stress yourself much. just chill and have a grip on your food habits and life style, which, i am sure you have started already. the heart rate is quite fast, keep checking regularly. by the way, what was your LV ejection fraction in echocardiogram? that's very important to know. i gues, you have had a negative stress test - that's relieving.
Hi sweetie, I am not here to scare you. i am your friend and i must get the assurance myself that you are taking enough care and for that you gotta be conscious. It's your life after all. Give it the no. 1 priority in life.
take care. love and hugs.

Well I am not back to work yet. I have to be able to work 16+ hour days before I can go back and I get tired to quick so there is still resting to do. LOL. I have changed my food habits even before the attack but have done more changing since. I am not exactly sure what the LV ejection fraction was but my doc has all that info and I see him on a more than regular basis. LOL. The specialist didn't really know the meaning of the stress test since I had already had the angiogram and he said that will tell them more than the stress test. Don't worry I don't scare that easy! I think for the first time in my life I am actually listening to my doctor and not doing the things I am not suppose to. LOL. I am bad for doing things too soon but I have some awesome friends that keep making sure that I don't overdo things. Thanks. :)

Hey tam, I want to say I miss you but that would be lying. This is because I can't technically miss you since I am not really here myself. You get the link?
Stay cool.:P

Hey no prob. It was a wake up call I just hope that I can help others prevent their own. I never should have had it. Everyone says I am too young but I keep telling them to say that to my heart! LOL. I am very thankful to be here but I do have a long way to go before I am back to myself. BTW I am Canadian so the 4th of July doesn't pertain to me. LOL :)
